As the science of economics...exploded the fallacies of every brand of utopianism, it was outlawed and stigmatized as unscientific.

Ludwig von Mises

You could write the entire history of science in the last 50 years in terms of papers rejected by Science or Nature.

Paul Lauterbur

Illusions as bad as mine make people aware of the fallacies of visual information and the pleasure to be derived from such fallacies.

Vik Muniz

Fallacies do not cease to be fallacies because they become fashions.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

Science fiction is the most important literature in the history of the world, because it's the history of ideas, the history of our civilization birthing itself. ...Science fiction is central to everything we've ever done, and people who make fun of science fiction writers don't know what they're talking about.

Ray Bradbury

We know only a single science, the science of history. History can be contemplated from two sides, it can be divided into the history of nature and the history of mankind. However, the two sides are not to be divided off; as long as men exist the history of nature and the history of men are mutually conditioned.

Karl Marx

History is a record of exploded ideas.

John Fisher, 1st Baron Fisher

Marxism: The theory that all the important things in history are rooted in an economic motive, that history is a science, a science of the search for food.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

It begins with skepticism. The history of human folly, and our own susceptibility to illusions and fallacies, tell us that men and women are fallible.

Steven Pinker

When I was in high school I found literature and history interesting, but science not at all. Literature and history obviously involved thinking, but science seemed to be all about memorizing facts and doing mindless calculations.

Elliott Sober

I think for comedians, acting is their natural progression. It's all about progression.

Russell Peters

I think I regard any history in quotes, because just like science, we're constantly revising science, we're constantly revising history. There's no question that various victors throughout history have flat out lied about certain events or written themselves into things, and then you come along and you find out that this disproves that.

David S. Goyer

Keynes was scarcely a 'revolutionary' in any real sense. He possessed the tactical wit to dress up ancient statist and inflationist fallacies with modern, pseudoscientific jargon, making them appear to be the latest findings of economic science.

Murray Rothbard

We live in a bubble of progression, and over the last eight years [of Barack Obama], we've been a country of progression.

Ansel Elgort

I think, for myself, as an artist, the progression is a lyrical progression and what I choose to target my lyrics at and how I construct the rhymes.

Gza

Science is taught like the history of science, and it's boring. Doing science fair, anything that's project-based learning, that involves field trips, that's really valuable.
